daily driving, you can get a full set of bosch pads from rock auto for ~60$. I like stoptech slotted rotors to help get debris off the pads. they also hold up a bit better than standard blanks. drilled rotors are mostly for looks and can crack much easier under heat unless you are spending big bucks on a high end rotor, which imo isn’t worth the cost.
I have the Stoptech Z23 slotted and drilled rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads. Overall, I’m happy with them. The biggest complaint is that they use undersized brake pads, which is a feature that performance pads have in order to accommodate expansion under high heat. Because they’re undersized, when you brake in the opposite direction that you brakes last, they will “click” as they shift slightly inside the caliper. They don’t do it while driving unless you change direction, but I would have considered less aggressive pads if I knew they would do this. That said, I have had zero issues and great braking performance in spirited driving and emergency braking, over the last 45K miles or so.
I upgraded to stoptech drilled rotors with the posi quiet pads. I'm happy with the performance on street for spirited driving, and they create much less dust than my old Hawk HPS pads.
I decided to try Advics rotors when I did my brakes... they are (or were as of a couple years ago, now I see 2 part numbers on RA though) US-made, and near as I can tell they're *good* US-made. No issues in probably 30k miles, even with 150k+ old calipers.
Zimmermann rotors fits like a glove.
I had Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads on my mk6 and they were great, so much less brake dust and stopped no problem.
I use Zimmerman front and rear with no problems
For brakes and rotors I swear by Detroit Axle. They are excellent.
Just swapped my fronts again at ~43K. Used VW rotors this time, pads are just fine/have tons of life left. It really comes down to pad deposits from my wife's driving this only around town/short trips and being an early braker.
Had them on a Mazda3. Developed pulsation within 3 months.
